I just recently bought FS2004 and I just looked at this group so forgive me
for not knowing if this has been addressed before.

In nearly all the aircraft I fly the joystick seems to be very sensitive.
The plane jumps around quite a bit. I thought of reducing the sensitivity
but was concerned that I might not have full field of travel when I want
it. I have noticed the same thing on other MSFSs. Do I need a new joystick
or is that just the nature of the simbeast.

Thanks,
Andy

Likely calibration issues is all that is wrong. I have a Logitech
Extreme3D Pro
and love it for FS2004. Nice throttle and tons of programmable buttons.
If
you're looking for a change, I recommend it.
